Eggnog Bread with Sugar Rum Glaze

I cannot believe how well we’re doing on our Christmas prep. If all goes well, we are going to be finished and ready with at least two weeks to spare! Up today is a recipe for Eggnog Bread with Sugar Rum Glaze. If you give small gifts to neighbors or co-workers, this is the perfect thing. It will also pair nicely with the homemade vanilla extract I shared several weeks ago. No worries if you didn’t bother with the vanilla. You can still give this bread on its own because it is, quite simply, delish. Moist and sweet, it’s more of a dessert than a quick bread. I’m not really much of a glaze or frosting person…but this sugar rum glaze is amazing. I could have licked the bowl.

The batter mixes up quickly and easily. It’s on the thick side so you have to spoon it into your bread pans. You can see little pieces of butter in the batter…that’s because the cold eggnog keeps the butter from completely dissolving. This bread is sweet so if you skip the glaze, it will still be good. I highly recommend at least trying the glaze. It adds a pretty finishing touch and like I said before, tastes amazing.

Last year they were everywhere. Hopefully I will find some soon, but if I don’t, we’ll manage just fine.

I just made this bread and the glaze to see if I would take it over to a friends house for Christmas Eve. Its great. You can really taste the eggnog. Thanks for posting this little gem. Merry Christmas!

Hi Ann, the eggnog bread turned out….well not bad. Husband loved it. It was much denser than it should have been. The larger pudding mix no doubt caused this. I haven’ t made it again, but plan on it soon. Thank you for a great recipe. Your blog is great.

This looks delish. ..all us girl cousins are doing a GNO Night and I think I will take this with me. I’m thinking of cutting slices to take home and eat in the morning with coffee. Just in case there are any hangovers. ..

Hi Ann! This recipe sounds wonderful and just in time to try out my new Williams-Sonoma Goldtouch loaf pans and Al-Clad measuring cups and spoons per your recommendation :) I recently sold some things on ebay just so I could replace some old bakeware. So worth the work! Hugs to you and Kelly!!!

Oh Ann! I measured everything so carefully, only to realize I used the large box of pudding????????. Still in the oven and praying the bread is eatable. Sniff, sniff. I’ll start over if not, what a waste of rum, and eggnog!
